Bikepacking Top Tube Bags & Stem Bags

When the miles stretch and the weather turns, stopping to dig through bags breaks the rhythm. Top tube and cockpit bags keep the things you reach for most right where you need them. Food. Phone. Battery. Map. One zip, one hand, still rolling.

Let the Ride Flow

Our bikepacking cockpit bags are designed for real rides, not just race photos. Stable on rough ground, easy to live with, and built to handle British weather from lane spray to Highland rain.

Why Alpkit Top Tube Bags?

• Instant access while riding – snacks, navigation and power without stopping

• Stable, low-profile fit – no knee rub, no sway on rough tracks

• Bolt-on and strap options – works with modern frames and older favourites

• Weather-ready construction – keeps kit protected in wet, gritty conditions

Small Bags. Big Difference.

Top tube bags are often the most-used piece of a bikepacking setup. They sit at the centre of the bike, where weight stays balanced and access stays easy. Whether you’re grazing snacks on a long gravel day, keeping a phone dry and charging, or stashing gloves between climbs, cockpit bags quietly make rides smoother.

Choose bolt-on designs for the cleanest, most stable fit on frames with top tube mounts. Go strap-on when you want flexibility across multiple bikes or older frames. Either way, Alpkit bags are shaped to sit neatly, open easily with cold hands, and stay put when the trail gets lively.

Trusted on Long Days Out

From first overnighters to months on the road, Alpkit bikepacking bags are tested by riders who ride for the love of it. No fuss. No fragile race kit. Just dependable storage that does its job day after day.

Built to Last, Built Responsibly

We design our cockpit bags to last beyond a single trip. Durable fabrics, repairable construction, and a 3-year Alpine Bond back every bag we make. Fewer replacements. More riding. Less waste.
